Dinamica® Auto Line

Product information

Dinamica® by Miko is the made-in-Italy microfibre which is produced in part by using recycled polyester (the recycled content varies according to the product line and application) without the use of organic solvents but using a water-based process. The manufacturing process used by Dinamica® makes it possible to extract fewer virgin raw materials since it uses a part of recycled fibres of waste products which would otherwise be sent to landfill sites or incinerated, thereby reducing CO2 emissions and other environmental impacts associated with these processes.

Under the microscope, Dinamica® is composed of three layers: face, inner scrim and backing. Submerged in a water solution, the inner scrim attracts small polyester fibres, which are suspended in the liquid, to both surfaces; these are compacted using a waterbased needle punching process.

The microfibre is then immersed in a water polyurethane bath, which, in contrast to normal production cycles, does not contain the solvents that are harmful to health and the environment. This process compacts the fibres, making them elastic and resistant. During the dyeing and finishing stage, the production cycles are optimized and monitored managing the energy consumption at best and minimising the waste of chemical products and water which is then drained through our purifier and partially re-used.

For the automotive sector, Dinamica® is available in the Auto version in which 2 of the 3 layers come from recycled polyester. By changing the face layer it is possible to achieve the Silk variant, characterized by a striped effect similar to real silk. To complete the product range for the automotive sector, Dinamica® Auto Stretch and Dinamica® Wide have also been on the market for some years. Their elastic structures allow to cover curved surfaces through industrial and not necessarily manual productions. But Miko’s research wanted to go further. The company is in fact working on the development of Dinamica® Auto Pure, a new product for the car in which even the inner scrim comes from recycled fibers.
